Discover Your Inner Cowgirl

I spoke to a high school class that had been studying "Cowboy Ethics."The teacher thought they should also be exposed to cowboy poetry.After the class I got a note from one of the girls who wanted toremind me there are a lot of Cow Girls out there too.So I sent her this which was in the inaugural issue of IM Cowgirlmagazine a few years back.

Discover Your Inner Cowgirl

There’s a picture on her office wallof a cowgirl out there in the fallwith a saddle pony grazin’ by her side.In the distance, mountains capped with snowmake her wish that she could knowthe thrill of being out there for a ride.It’s not the most idyllic scene,the grass and brush are brown, not green.But, to her, it has a certain, raw appeal.It’s a true life snapshot of the Westand the caption on it says it best:“Discover how your inner cowgirl feels”In her mind, she feels the autumn chillin the breeze that blows from off the hillwhere the cattle that she’s tendin’ stop to graze.The clouds foretell a change of weather.She hears the creek of saddle leatherand sees the cattle bunching in the haze.She’s lost inside this Western artwhich brings a calming to her heartreleasin’ stress that grips her like a vice.The picture brings a sweet release.Her inner cowgirl is at peace.And that, my friend, is worth near any price.
